"You sure you're feeling alright?" Dipper asked Pacifica.

"I'm fine. My head hurts but I'm okay." She said. "I heard you saved me and that you mauled my father."

"Yeah well I-"

"Thank you."

"For saving you or mauling your father?"

"Both, bastard deserved it."

"You're welcome. Hey I have question why did he do that to you?"

"Last night he told me that he had arranged for me to marry someone rich, old, ugly, and mean and that he expected me to give birth to a son then give it to him to twist into a greedy, selfish, abusive monster like him."

"What happened next?"

"I told him no! I told him that I wouldn't marry that man and that if I ever had a child I'd keep it away from him and my mother then I told him that I had lost my virginity. Next thing I knew I was getting beaten and everything went black."

"I'm sorry he did that to you."

"It's my own fault. I forgot my place."

"No. Your father had no right to do that to you. No man has any right to beat a woman and another thing he..." He froze and went silent for a minute.

"What is it? What's wrong?" Pacifica asked.

"We're not alone. Someone's watching us."

"Who?"

"Shhh! I'm listening."

Dipper listened carefully. He heard footsteps, soft footsteps. The kind that something or someone made when they were trying to sneak around.

"We need to get out of here." He whispered. "Now."

"Why?"

But instead of answering her he threw her over his shoulder and started running like the wind as bullets were being fired. The source of the bullets were none other than Victor only this time he wasn't traveling by foot, now he was in a vehicle and a fast one at that.

"Who the hell is that?!" Pacifica asked.

"I think he's one of the two hunters Manny and Frida ran into yesterday!" Dipper panted.

BANG! One bullet meant for them missed it's target but managed to take off a lock of Pacifica's hair.

"Gahh! Hey! You trigger happy lunatic! I'll sue you for that!" Pacifica screamed. "I get why he's after you but why is he shooting at me?!"

"They're crazy! That's why!"

He ran as fast as he could until he stopped at a rock wall.

"Whoa! Why did you stop?" She asked.

"Dead end." He said.

"Ugh! I can't believe it! What kind of lame brain bafoon doesn't look where he's running?!" She screecjed.

"You just love to complain don't ya?" He snarled.

"I wouldn't have to complain if you wouldn't be such an idiot!"

"Remind me again why I chose to save you?" He said dropping her.

"A lover's quarrel between a killer werewolf and his traitorous woman!" Victor scoffed. "How replusive! That even monsters have lovers!"

"We're not lovers you creep!" Dipper and Pacifica shouted annoyed.

"Well lovers or not you both will die together!"

He pointed his gun at them. Startled, Pacifica's hand went to the rock wall where she sensed something inside it. Crystals, hundreds of crystals that were as hard as a sword and sharp as a fang. She closed her eyes and began to concentrate.

"What are you doing?" Dipper asked her.

"Just be quiet and let me think."

She willed the crystals to come out of the wall and to help them. With all the strength of her thought and mind she order the crystals to come to her aid. Then just as he pulled the trigger, her bracelet glowed and crystals broke out from the wall, shielding them from the bullets and creating a hole in the wall for them to exit through.

"Whoa!" Dipper gasped. "Oh yeah I forgot you could do that!"

"That won't hold hin forever so let's move!"

They jumped out of the hole in the wall and continued running. They ran and ran until they stopped at the edge of a cliff that was a hundred feet above a river.

"What now genius?!" Pacifica asked annoyed but he didn't answered. "Dipper? Hello? Earth to dog boy?! Are you even listening to me?!"

But he still didn't answer. Then she noticed how his mood had changed. His skin white as a ghost, his body was frozen stiff, he looked like he couldn't breathe, and his eyes held fear and terror.

"What's wrong with you?" She asked.

"It's a cliff."

"So?"

"It's a cliff. It's a cliff. It's a cliff!"

"Yes I know it's a cliff? What's your point?'

"It's a cliff! It's a cliff! She jumped off a cliff! She jumped off a cliff!"

"Dipper? Are you okay?" She asked with her voice more soft.

"She jumped and she died! She jumped and she died! She jumped and she died!"

It was like he didn't know she was there. Like he thought he was somewhere else.

"Dipper look at me." She putting her hands on his shoulders.

"Don't jump! Don't jump Mabel!"

"Look at me! Look at me right now! "

He put his hands over his head, collapsed on his knees, closed his eyes, and started shaking.

"No Mabel! Don't jump! I'm not dead! I'm not!"

SLAP!

She smacked him across his face.

"I said look at me damnit!" She demanded. Then joined him on her knees and cupped his face in her hands making his eyes meet hers. "Listen we are in a lot of danger right now so I need you to snap out of it and help me. Please! I don't want to die!"

He blinked a couple of times as he came back to his senses.

"I'm sorry I just-"

BANG! That one bullet cut his shoulder. Dipper howled in pain at the seething acid he felt burning his skin.

"Don't move!" Victor ordered had he prepared to shoot again. "You're finished! You and that witch!"

Once again he had them at gun point. There was no where for them to run, no where for them to hide, no where for them to escape. Or was there?

"Damn! Need to reload!" Victor said.

He went to reload. Pacifica looked down at the river below the cliff.

"Dipper I have an idea." Pacifica whispered.

"What?"

"Can you swim?"

"I can dog paddle. Why?" He whispered back.

"Because we're gonna have to swim."

"Are you saying that we jump?"

"Pretty much."

"I can't!" He cried in a whisper.

"We have no choice. If we jump we might make it if we don't then we're done for!"

"But-"

Victor had finished reloading his gun.

"Dipper we have to jump now." Pacifica told him.

He made his aim.

"Now!"

Victor pulled the trigger, a shot rang out, the bullet was flying. The blonde jumped and pushed the wolf boy causing both of them to go over the cliff. Then...

SPLASH!

They fell right into the river, disappearing underwater. Victor looked down to see if they had survived but he wouldn't find that out today because neither one of them had risen back up to the surface. But that wasn't because they drowned. It was because after they landed they swam under. When they came back up for air they had swam out of Victor's sight and toward the nearest land mark.

"Are you alright?" He asked her.

"I'm fine but what happened to you up there? You looked like you were having a break down."

"I...I...I'm sorry I just..."

"What?"

"You remember how I told about how my sister died? How she threw herself off a cliff? Well because of that every time I see a cliff I just...I see her. Running toward it, crying and screaming. And it's not just when I see cliffs, I've had nightmares about it for years! I wasn't there when it happened but I saw it, I heard it, I felt it."

"How?"

"We were twins and we shared some kind of link. So even though I wasn't there when it happen her memory of it replays itself in my mind and it...It was all my fault."

"How was it your fault? It's not like you made her jump?"

"It wasn't there that's how it was my fault. Gideon had been wanting to get his damn hands on her for years but he never got close enough because I was always there scaring off boys who wanted to use her. Then I...I chose to go to that stupid...THAT STUPID WAR!"

He roared and punched the ground startling her into backing away. His eyes were yellow and he was snarling through his fangs. Then he fell to his knees and buried his face in his hands crying.

"And for what? Just to prove that I was a real man? I left her alone, I wasn't there to protect her from Gideon! I wasn't there to stop her from throwing her life away!" He sobbed. "She was so young when she died and she had so much to live for. She was gonna get married...In a church on a sunny day, she was gonna wear a white dress and flowers in her hair, and u was gonna give her away. I promised her that I would be the one to give her away at her wedding! But now none of that will ever happen and it was because of my damn pride!"

Pacifica was speechless. She had never seen a man cry before. In fact she had never seen anyone other than herself cry. It was strange seeing someone else in tears especially a young man. She felt something inside of her. Something strange, something she had never felt before. It was an urge, an urge to comfort him and try to help him.

Responding to her strange new feeling she sat beside Dipper and hugged him. Not too tight just a gentle hold to let him know it was okay.

"It was your fault" She assured him. "Sometimes bad things just happen and there's nothing you can do. But blaming yourself won't make it better so you need to move on okay Dipper?"

No answer.

"Dipper?"

He felt limp and he slid out of her arms, falling unconscious on to the ground.

"Hey what's wrong now?"

She got her answer when she saw strange burn marks all over his chest, arms, and face.

"Oh God! Dipper! Come on Dipper wake up! Don't do this to me! Wake up! Wake up!"

But he didn't.

"Oh my God! Help! Can anybody hear me?! Help! Help please!"

"Hey keep it down will ya?!" A cranky voice called from inside a cave. Coming out was an old man wearing a jacket and a fedora. "Some people are trying to take a nap here!"

"Who are you?"

"An old man who gets real cranky when he doesn't get some sleep now what are you screaming ya dumb broad?"

"I am not dumb you dirty old hermit! And I was screaming because my friend is hurt! Look at him!"

The old man came closer and looked at Dipper. He became silent and his demeanor quickly changed. He carefully lifted Dipper's body over his shoukder, Pacifica was very surprised by how strong he was.

"Come with me." He told her.

...

Hours passed, Dipper and Pacifica hadn't been seen since the morning so Manny, Frida, Steven, and Connie went to look for them. It had gotten dark so they had to use lanterns and flashlights to search for them.

"Any sign of them?" Steven asked as they searched.

"No not here, let's check the woods." Manny suggested.

They went into the woods but didn't have much luck there either.

"Man I wish it wasn't dark because even with flash lights I can hardly see anything." Frida said.

"Not for me, I can see in the dark." Steven said proudly though he didn't see the nearby ditch of mud which he fell in. "Ow!"

"Oh yeah you can see real well." Frida teased. "But your attention span not so much."

"Ha-ha, very funny. Can you help me up? I think I'm stuck."

"Yeah give me your hand."

He took her hand and tried to pull him up. But compared to her he was really heavy so she had dig her heals into the dirt and pull with all her might which resulted in him getting pulled out of the muddy ditch but getting knocked on top of her.

"Ooops. Sorry." He said.

"Get off of me!" She denanded.

"Okay, okay."

They wiggled around and tried to stand. As they moved around Steven's hand accidentally touched her belly.

"Hey!" She snapped.

"It's not what you think! I- I...Hang on minute."

He began to move his hand around her body.

"Um what do you think you're doing?! If you don't stop I may have to shoot you!"

"Something's wrong with your blood."

"What are you talking about?"

"Something's changed. I can sense it, Vampires and half vampires can sense changes in someone's blood. When I touched you I sensed a change."

"Good change or bad?"

"I don't know. Let me see if you don't mind."

He continued to move his hand around her body, trying to find what he felt. Finally when his hand went to her belly again he sensed something different inside of it. New blood had been formed. Half of it he sensed was the same as hers but the other half was a different blood, the blood of a male. He was confused at first wondering why her stomach was carrying a mixture of her blood and the blood of a male but in about five seconds it hit him.

"Oh my God." He said in quiet shock as he took his hand off her belly.

"What?" She asked.

"Oh my God."

"What is it?"

"Oh my God!"

"What? What's wrong? Am I dying or something?"

"No."

"Then what?"

"Frida...You're...You're...You're."

"I'm, I'm, I'm what?! Spit it out bat boy!"

"Frida you're pregnant."

Her aggravated demeanor dropped like a stone in the sea. Did she hear right? Did he say what she thought he said?

"I'm...What?" She said in a voice barely above a whisper.

"You're pregnant."

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"How can you be so sure? You're not a doctor."

"Don't need to be because when a vampire or half vsmpire senses new blood in a woman's stomach that is similar to hers and a male's it means there's a child growing inside her. A child that shares blood with it's mother and father. No mistake you're pregnant."

"No! I can't be! Because to do that I must have sex and nuns don't have sex. They're virgins which I am."

"Then you must be carrying the second child of God."

"Oh...I guess."

"You're a horrible liar. You totally had sex. Oh my God you had sex!"

"Shhh! Shut up!"

"You're a nun and you had sex!"

"I said shut up!"

"Hey what's going on?" Manny asked.

"Manny you won't believe this! Frida is-"

"Concerned about that bump you got when you fell Steven." Frida said covering his mouth. "So why don't you follow me over here and I'll fix your wound. Manny, you and Connie go on ahead okay?"

"Okay?" He said a little weirded out but he left while she forcibly dragged Steven somewhere sge hoped they couldn't hear her. She checked to see if they were gone then started to confess.

"Alright I admit it I...I gave up my virginity." She confessed.

"How? When? Why? Well I know how you did it but when and why?"

"I really don't think now is the best time to discuss this."

"Who's the father?"

"I'd rather not say."

"Alright then I'll just sense who it is."

"What?! No!"

But his hand went to her belly and she sensed that the half of the blood that came from the male was exactly like Manny's.

"Oh my God it was Manny!"

"Shhh! Will you stop shouting?!"

"I don't believe this. I always knew he was a bit of a womanizer but to seduce and impregnate a nun. That's low. I didn't even know he do that."

"It's not what you think I wasn't seduced."

"Dear God he didn't rape you did he?"

"No you idiot! We're...We're...We're married."

"What?! When?!"

"Two weeks ago."

"Where?"

"In North Carolina."

"How?"

"In a nearby church, nobody knew us there."

"You're not serious are you?"

"Have you noticed that since Manny got back he's had a ring on his finger?"

"Yeah he said that was his lucky ring."

"Well he lied." She took off one of her gloves to show him the wedding ring on her finger.

"Sweet Jesus." He said stunned. "Does anyone else know about this?"

"No one except the minister who married us in North Carolina."

"How come you've never told anyone?"

"Do you honestly think that people finding out a devil and a nun got married would end well?"

"Good point but hey at least your kid is legitimate."

"Oh God I forgot about that. Are you positive that I'm pregnant?"

"Blood doesn't lie."

"But...I...Manny told me that he couldn't produce off spring. He told me he ran a test that said he couldn't have kids."

"And how long ago did he say that test was?"

"He didn't say when."

"Well bodies change you know."

"Oh crap...This can't be happening! I can't breathe!"

"Now calm down."

"Calm down? I just found out I'm pregnant! By a half devil! Do you know what that means?"

"Um...Not sure."

"Persecution! Oh no, no, no, no, no. What am I gonna do?"

"Don't be too upset at least you have Manny to help you."

"Oh no he can't know!"

"Why?"

"Because it's...It's...I don't know just don't tell him or anyone else."

"But he has a right to know."

"Not now! We have bigger things to deal with! Not to mention Manny will freak if he finds out! I just need to find the right time to tell him. So promise you won't tell."

"But-"

"Promise!" She begged.

"Okay I promise I won't tell but you and I both know even if neither of us say anything they're gonna find out."

"I know." She sighed looking down at her stomach. She couldn't believe any of this. She never thought that she'd ever be a mother. With everything that had happened in her life the idea of having a child was far, far, away from her mind. But what's done had been done and there was no changing it. She was pregnant with Manny's child. She was a pregnant nun by a half devil.
